Multiplication and Geometry

Afraid I’ve lost track of what I’ve written about on the website in reference to my ledger book so I may be writing down a repeat of lessons.

We’ve been working on telling time a lot in our workbooks and using the Montessori Teaching Clock to work with different time units. Some of the work is easy and some age appropriate to learning time at their level. The easier work we use for handwriting practice.

The girls have worked on their common math workbooks with multiple choice with subjects such:

Greater then and less than

Place value

Carrying over of tens and ones

Discussion and labeling of geometry forms

The difference between shapes

Right angles, acute angles and obtuse angles (triangles)

The girls have been enjoying working with multiplication and their multiplication boards (Montessori). We’ve been using their mulitiplication workbooks alongside the boards.

Maggie independently got up and found the trinomal cube today and completed it without little struggle. The girls have been sick with a little cold so they have done less work than usual in the past two days. Maggie then completed the binomal cube and went onto the Rectangular Box A. This Box covers an array of topics including:

Additonal Lessons: Adapting Education Lessons Learned

So I’ll write out a list below for reference on some of the work that we were interested in while sick. I can’t remember if I’ve posted before about right angles in geometry. The girls have specifically found this interesting. So we’ve been learning about acute and obtuse angles, right angles and triangles alongside our […]

We have worked a great deal at the board recently on handwriting skills and writing stories. Following through with the Association Method in Lanugage I created some question/answer stories to help them with handwriting and prepping them to write their own stories free style. Stories 1-3 are simply written for handwriting tracing and the subject […]

Of course I forgot to add my hand written notes to my last post so I’ll add them in this post. In geography, in addition to landforms and our earth discussions including where fossils, minerals and gems come from we did some workbooks that featured mountain ranges and labeled each. We focused on continents and […]
